Life drawing

25.02.2013:

Hi guys, I found the perfect start in a new week. Grab a good friend, meet in a cafe in the morning, sit down and draw what you see around you :) It was a lot of fun and I drew things I normally don't draw. Also I tried to remember how to construct shadows. But the approach isn't right. Have to do a little bit of research again :3

New Portfolio & Blog

11.02.2013:

Today I started to work on my portfolio related blog. It's like a summary of this one. There I will present the best drawings/paintings/studies of one week work. So stay tuned for that. Link will follow as soon as it's finished. Because of that I only found time for a little perspective drawing out of my imagination and some gestures^^
